Is the first call really free?

Yes. Thirty minutes, no cost and no obligation. We tell you honestly what we would do in your position, even if that is not working with us.

Is it online or in person?

Both. Most sessions are online, and in-person sessions can be arranged on request.

How does it work for under-18s?

A parent or guardian arranges any paid programme and is welcome on the first call. We keep written records of every session.

Can you guarantee an offer?

No, and anyone who does is not being straight with you. We make sure students apply to the right places, at the right time, and walk into every stage prepared.

Do you work with schools?

Yes. We deliver careers talks online and in person, and offer a whole-school platform that supports Gatsby Benchmark evidence. Request a demo and we will send the details for your school.

What the job actually is

Asset managers invest money for pension funds, insurers and savers, and decide what to buy and hold over years. Steady hours, long-term views and one skill that decides everything: forming a view and defending it.

How you get in

Internships, graduate schemes and a growing number of degree apprenticeships. The windows open early and the interviews ask for one thing above all: a pitch.

What fund managers look for, and how you build it

Following companies and markets long enough to hold one investment idea and defend it under questioning.
A pitch you can deliver in two minutes - the one thing asset management interviews ask for.
Reading reports properly: what they say, and what they leave out.
Applications to internships and graduate schemes, timed to the windows that open early.
